Most likely, the check will be no good and much larger than the purchases she needs to make.
The 'remainder' will be quite a large sum of money that she will send out of her own account.
By the time the check she deposited is found to be phoney, hers is gone.
Long post and mercy-I don't know what to make of this
Well, there are two unscrupulous ideas that come to mind. First, to get paid, by direct deposit, she will have to give them her account number. That is one step away from getting into her account and withdrawing funds. They have her name, ss#, phone number, addr., ph. number, etc..
2nd, The person trying to make a living without working, can do is open accounts in her name, debit cards, credit cards, cell phone, etc...
3rd. They can create fake id, with her info.
4th People who work for online companies, where there is no office front property, NEED to first check with the better business bureau. Then ask them which state they are incorporated in. Then check the state to see if they are incorporated there. Then lastly don't do it, unless they have been in business for at least 10 years, and confirm this with your secretary of state. The company has to be incorporated and has to be registered in the state where your friend lives.
I read this very very carefully, and not only do I feel 100% sure this is a scam, if you read carefully you will pick up on word phrases and expressions that clearly indicate the person writing to your friend is not a native English speaker. English is their second language.
AND - tip off - when asking about the TIME. They are in a very different time zone!
This phrase says it all: You are welcome to DELL COMPUTERS the place of Good Earning and Satisfaction. That is clearly not someone who uses English as their primary language.
while this thread may help future people to NOT fall for the scam, it's a moot point for my friend because she laughed it off and never ever contacted them again. So this thread for all intents and purposes is dead.
Hi, i thank you so much for posting the letter, i similary was contact by someone, by the name of cathy daniels, she had a website called camden.com. I so far gave my address, and cellphone number. I just don't understand one thing, the interview is done, but i was wondering even if they send you checks from money order, can't you cash it from check and cash outlets? I never gave my bank info, and the individual is still willing to send me money order cash.
if her name is cathy daniles, she shouldn't be making spelling mistakes., i just wanted to post this if anyone else ends up reading this forum, she seems to be pasting things in the IM, i copied and pasted her text here, and led me to this forum
